Before you leave town: Thanksgiving break reminders

November 20, 2013

With many students planning to leave campus during Thanksgiving break (Nov. 23 - Dec. 1), please take a moment to review some general reminders. Also, if you plan to remain on campus, please review the campus operations information.

Off-Campus Residents

Before you leave, find someone willing to clear snow off your property. Snow must be removed within 24 hours of a snow fall.

Party Registration will run over Thanksgiving Break, however registrations must be made by Wednesday, Nov. 27, at noon. The office will be closed Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28-29.

Ask a friend to collect your mail and pick up newspapers and/or any trash in your yard.

Make sure all windows and doors are locked. Move any expensive items like laptops away from windows where they may be visible.

Set your lights on a timer and your heat to a reasonable temperature; about 60 degrees.

Don’t leave pets by themselves. Find someone to take care of them while you are away.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
